Attractions and Places To See around Piotrków Trybunalski - Top 20

The building known as Gustav Kramer's Bank House from the cult crime comedy "Vabank" (1981) directed by Juliusz Machulski is a corner tenement house called "Złoty Róg" (Golden Horn), located at Kościuszki Square 6 (at the intersection with Sieradzka Street) in Piotrków Trybunalski.

The corner building "Golden Horn" (officially entered into the register of monuments in March 1992) has permanently inscribed itself into the city's architectural and film landscape.

The Orthodox parish in the city was founded in the 18th century by merchants from Macedonia and Greece, who were fleeing persecution in the Ottoman Empire.

The water tower was completed in 1926 according to the design by Władysław Horodecki. The construction was financed by a loan taken from the New York company „Ulen & Co.”, as part of an agreement concerning the financing of investments in four Polish cities (Częstochowa, Lublin, Radom, and Sosnowiec) aimed at modernizing infrastructure and improving sanitary and health standards. The tower was intended to be part of the water and sewage system of Piotrków Trybunalski, which is why it was located in the very center of the city on Słowackiego street, right next to the railway station. In the mid-1990s, a radio transmitter was placed on it. Until May 20, 2013, the Polsat television company had a transmitter on the tower. In mid-2008, the exterior of the Water Tower was renovated as part of the Trail of Many Cultures project.

The cemetery was established in 1939, and in 1967, a concrete obelisk and grave plots were made. 631 Polish soldiers who died in 1939 during the battles of Rozprza and Piotrków Trybunalski are buried in the cemetery. The cemetery is entered into the provincial register of memorial sites and the register of real estate monuments of the Łódź province. The first monument to the fallen soldiers was built in 1967. The unveiling ceremony took place on October 29, 1967. In 2022, the cemetery was renovated. The plots were thoroughly rebuilt, the alleys were tidied up, and a new obelisk was made. Traditionally, every first Sunday in September, ceremonies are held at the war cemetery in Milejów to commemorate soldiers who fought in the so-called "Battle for Piotrków Road" and residents of nearby towns who were murdered by the Germans at the time.

It may not be the French Riviera or even a substitute for Polish Masuria. But as a park with a beach in the city. Quite an interesting development of the place.

The establishment of the Orthodox parish in Piotrków is associated with a group of Greeks who came to Piotrków from Macedonia in the mid-18th century. King Stanisław August allowed the opening of an Orthodox pastoral facility in the attic of a private house, owned by the Grabowski family at today's Plac Stefana Czarnieckiego (former Krótka Street) 10 in 1788. The first parish priest was hieromonk Grzegorz, originally from the island of Chios, a monk from one of the Athos communities. He performed his duties until his death in 1832. His duties were taken over by a Russian priest, Fr. Żadziński. Until 1839, the Piotrków parish, as an ethnically Greek one, was not subject to the local structures of the Russian Orthodox Church. It was only after that date that it was incorporated into it, which meant the removal of the Greek language from the liturgy. Located at 15 Juliusza Słowackiego Street. Built in the years 1844–1847, and expanded according to the design of the Russian architect Ivan Vasilyevich Shtrem in the years 1867–1869.

The courthouse was built according to various designs between 1905 and 1909 according to the design of the provincial architect Feliks Nowicki in a style described as eclectic, Art Nouveau or neoclassical. During World War I, in 1914 during the fighting for the city, a field hospital was set up in its interior. After the end of World War II, the courthouse first housed the Municipal National Council, and then, after the establishment of the Piotrków Trybunalski Voivodeship in 1975, the building was the seat of the Voivodeship Office. Since 1989, it has once again served as a court. The eastern wing of the building with an entrance from Toruńska Street houses the State Archives established in 1919. The building is entered in the register of monuments under the number 278 of 2.04.1979. It is also in the municipal register of monuments of the city of Piotrków Trybunalski.
